Reply to comment by Squadbeezy in Any burger restaurant in CT that mimics “in and out burger?” ( the west coast chain? by Used-Examination1439

Don't compare them, Shake Shack is superior in every single way. It's not fair to In and out which is middling at best.

Fight me west coasters, your god is a lie.

In n Out somehow manages to take longer to serve your order, too! The amount of time I’ve wasted in that store is nuts

California native, you speak the truth. In N Out has always been overrated.

It’s like Whataburger in TX, the locals love it and swear by it but I’ve always found it “meh” at best.

Out the door you will be 2X the cost at SS - no way is it that better and in fact only the fries are better. SS quality is far from what Danny started in the early 2000’s and the menu is now appealing to the masses as they spread globally. Do one thing and do it well.

You speak the truth. The first time I visited the west coast, I tried In and Out because of all the hype I heard. It was an ok burger at a decent price; hardly anything worth celebrating.

I’ll throw down. Shake shack is trash, especially their sorry excuse for fries. In n out is better than ss but if you want a really good west coast chain, you have to have Fatburger!

Eh, shake shack is double the price as far as I can see. I got 2 cheeseburgers, a soda, and fries for under 10 bucks at in n out. I will say in n out isn't the best tasting

But I can get 3x the burgers for the price. They occupy different spaces, shake shack is a step above fast food and the price reflects that. In n out is in the god-tier of fast food, sure it isn’t as tasty as some make it out to be but the bang for the buck is unbeatable

THIS! I’ve always felt these fast casual burger chains all smack in their own way, not one is necessarily better, they occupy different positions within their own market (I’m referring particularly to Shake Shack, Five Guys and In-n-Out)
